I love. This place feels like home and Mike and Sara treat you like family the minute you walk in. Bread Basket Bakery has been around for decades, originally operated by Mike's mom Rita. I've come here yeaaars ago when we first moved to the Central Valley and we connected then. Years later we ran into Mike, who is also an amazing craftsman and we discovered that Ms Rita is his mom. She since retired a year ago and Mike and his beautiful wife Sara took over to keep the family legacy alive. They bake everything in house, fresh and provide home baked goods away from home to many people from our culture. Everything here tastes fresh, delicious, savory, flavorful. Not overpoweringly sweet and just perfection. You gotta try the Bouregs. Highly highly recommend. This is a hidden gem in the Central Valley. read more

My daughters spent way too much time in the thrift store in the same shopping center so I was walking around the other shops and there was a lady outside of this bakery and said I had to try the cheese boreg so I bought one just to give it a shot. They warmed it up and it was delicious - shared a few bites with the family and next thing I knew we had tried the cheese, the spinach/cheese, and the spicy varieties they had. Not even a week later we were back and not only did we get a few more we also bought grilled chicken/rice pilaf/salad/hummus/pita plates they were making for that day. Everything was delicious. Not sure if they do the chicken all of the time but we are about to head over and see. Also the family that runs this bakery are all super nice and suggest all kinds of things that we really enjoyed. Highly recommend supporting this local business. read more

I can't say enough good things about The Bread Basket! Tucked away like a true hidden gem, this place serves some of the best Armenian food in Fresno and their lahmajoon is handsdown the star of the show. It's everything you want in this traditional flatbread dish: the crust is thin and perfectly baked, with just the right crisp around the edges and a soft, chewy center. The topping is a flavorful blend of ground meat, fresh veggies, and just the right mix of spices that hit your taste buds in all the right ways savory, slightly tangy, and absolutely addictive. You can tell everything is made fresh with love and care. It's authentic, satisfying, and totally crave-worthy. I've had lahmajoon from different places before, but this one honestly tops them all. It's the kind of food that warms your heart and your stomach. The staff is super friendly, the space is clean and welcoming, and the aroma alone is worth the visit. Whether you're familiar with Armenian cuisine or just exploring something new, do yourself a favor and try the lahmajoon. You won't be disappointed! read more

Bread Basket Bakery - The love of lahmahjpun - Bakeries Near Me - Fresno, California

I came here for the first time last week. Their Lahmajoon is one of the best I've ever had (and I'm including from Glendale, Burbank, and other places in Fresno). It's much "meatier" than others. The person who helped me was so nice! I mentioned I had a very busy day of driving/meetings and still had to drive home for 3 hours. She gifted me a few cookies and a pastry for the ride home. read more

Unfortunately, the Souberag we bought for our Thanksgiving had no flavor ... not enough cheese and too much dough ... We were so looking forward to it and were disappointed... I may give it another try! read more

The best lahmajoon, that's my favorite so haven't tried anything else. I will try the shish kebab sandwich next tie.

I love this bakery and the lovely lady who runs it. I live in Bakersfield but will drive up just to get my favorite Lahmajoon!

The cheese Borag is fresh & amazing, best Borag I ever had I definitely recommend this bakery

So glad I found this place. I was craving some lahmajoon and was referred by a deli close by. I tried some of their other baked goods as well and they were so delicious! This is going to become a regular for me now. The woman working there is also so sweet. read more

Bread Basket Bakery - a person holding a plastic container filled with pastries - Bakeries Near Me - Fresno, California

Rita is amazing!!! We have been buying our baked goods from her for almost 3 generations. My grandma introduced us to Rita and we have yet to find anyone else in the valley that is even close! Everything she makes is amazing and tastes just like my great grandmas treats. Make sure you try the Lahmajoon!!!! read more

In my favorite bit of irony, I stop here after a trip to the dentist and buy a dozen sweets. I think they're paklava, the Armenian version of baklava, but they aren't drenched in honey. Just do as I do - look at the front counter where they're stacked in containers to-go, point and say "I want one of those". I've also tried the boureg, which is delicious, but I'm a sweet-tooth kind of gal. There's a small selection of grocery store goods. Do yourself a favor and pick up a container of labnah, which tastes like yogurt but has the consistency of cream cheese. Spread it on toast with jam and you're in heaven. The lady behind the counter is sweet as can be (and what gorgeous eyes!). Don't be afraid because you don't know what's what - just GO! read more

She remembers you. Her pastries are Delicious and she takes card and cash. What more would you want to know?

I've been coming here since I moved here from Hollywood (which has a big Armenian population) in 2000. The lahmajoon, cheese boreg and koris gata are killer here. All freshly made. The lady that owns the place is hella nice. Thick Armenian accent (darling-k), and very welcoming. Do yourself a favor and check it out. read more

The bierocks at Rita's are amazing. I've had bierocks at the Fair and elsewhere, but Rita's bierocks are the best. The Bread Basket Bakery also offers delicious pastries. I'm so sorry I didn't know about this place years ago. read more

I love this bakery. I try something new each time I visit. Items fresh, the owner is a delight, and they have what I need for ingredients.

A small local Armenian bakery that bakes on your request which makes their end product so fresh. The owner is very nice and service focused. Will be coming back next time we are in Fresno. read more

The owner, Rita is very nice and customer-focused. Sometimes you get the buy it or I do not give a crap look from other stores. Not this one. The Armenian Pizza is probably the best local stuff around. The problem is timing, it is better to call to see if they have availability. These items are baked fresh and have a short shelf life, so you want to buy early. Prices are very competitive. read more

Rita is amazing and her food is delicious. We always visit when we pass through Fresno.

The best fresh Armenian pastries and fresh Armenian foods. Reasonable prices, great service, the owner is awesome. I'm always glad to see her and eat her delicious foods. The selection of traditional Armenian delicacies are so tasty. I highly recommend this business. It NEVER disappoints read more

Easy access from Freeway 41 makes Bread Basket an easy stop for delicious Armenian breads, both savory and sweet, cheeses and other cultural delicacies that may be hard to find elsewhere. Rita is always a pleasure to talk with and is proud of the products she and her family make there. Fro good reason! Everything I have purchased there is so delicious. From the soft flat breads filled with cheese or spinach to any one of the pastries or cookies- all unique, and very nice to take to friends or as a thank you, My favorite thing is the simple ring cookies; a cookie in a ring shape that looks like a pretzel, but its not. They are excellent with the strong Armenian-style coffee that you can get there. read more

Rita is my Armenian fairy godmother! My father and I stumbled upon her shop while looking for a gas station and left with one of everything. Her Lahmajoon is the BEST (don't tell my nana). Her lavash and gata are ridiculous as well. I went back for more. It turns out, she knows my mothers' cousin, so she was an instant family member! If you are looking for amazing pastries, Armenian delicacies or just need a fix, RUN to Rita. I promise you- she will not disappoint. read more

This is my place to come to get my Lahmajoun. They make it fresh every day, regular or spicy. Pop in in the microwave for about 30 sec. or place in in the oven to warm, I like a light squeeze of lemon on it after it warms. The owner is very nice. read more

This bakery is wonderful! The prices are good, the food is delicious, the lahmajoon are fresh and warm. We'll definitely be going back!

I didn't get the opportunity to go in but my son brought me home some Lahmajoun and cheese bores. I have never had Armenian food and I am hooked!! Absolutely delicious, fresh, and flavorful. I will be going in myself as well. I can't thank my son enough for sharing this delightful Armenian bakery. read more

This bakery was great! I got some Armenian string cheese, cookies and the lady there even gave me some Armenian pizza to try. It was yunny and I would go back in a heartbeat! read more

Today I went in for a few staples as I usually do, fine grind Bulgur, pickled this and that, Paklava, grabbed some warm fresh Lahmajoun and the owners son had stopped by for lunch and out of curiosity I ask Rita what was he eating because it looked delicious! Rita says soup you wanna try and before I can say anything she brings me a beautiful brothy bowl of herbacious yoghurt soup to try! Absolutely amazing soup homemade by an amazing, kind woman! It's like visiting family when you stop in because she's so warm and welcoming and she prepares everything with love! I always look forward to my trips in and today was just another testament to why! read more

They also sell delicious pastries that taste homemade. Rita was so nice to my 90 year old parents and me! I'll make sure to return there on my next visit. read more
